    Hunger, a Thai film on Netflix. A young cook is head hunted from her family's cafe to work in the team of Bangkok's top haute cuisine chef, whose behaviour in the kitchen would be considered unpleasant by Gordon Ramsey. It is perhaps slightly too long and the social satire at times a bit heavy handed, but it's thought provoking and sumptuously shot. Towards the end there is a cook off almost like a western duel. The eating scenes do at times betray the director's background making horror movies. Worth watching as genuinely different.

    Thanks for that, will definitely get along to a game or two this year. Hitchin up the road from me here.

    Sķolars are just off the A10 so surprisingly easy to get to from Hertfordshire. Friendly home fans, although this year the team are best watched with hands over eyes

    But without doubt, those teams they play take more fans to their place which is the same distance but in reverse, or is that passing you by🤔

    No I am just wondering what your straw man argument is trying to prove. Unless of course, like the Keighley management, you like to whine on about how results on the pitch are sacrosanct for your own club and P&R is the be all and end all, while busily suggesting that other clubs should be judged on another measure such as the amount of away fans and thrown out of they don't reach your standards. There is, of course, a word for that

    They went further than that and said London and Newcastle are renowned when the they are the visiting teams for away fixtures, that the home club's usually have their lowest gates of the season, can you refute that claim?

    Shock news that clubs further away bring less supporters than a club a few miles down the road. Can't get anything past you

    The Keighley lads were saying that there is far more interest in the game in the north, and for clubs trying to make their way forward in the game, being in the north creates a much better "return". 

    They said IIRC that in putting money into Keighley, the fanbase grew very quickly. They said that Mr. Perez in putting money into Cornwall RLFC, only got an actual response of 400 crowds which were inflated by said owner (naughty naughty) to 1,000.

    I suppose David Hughes has pumped an actual fortune into London when you add it all up. AFAIK Mr. Hughes  hails originally from Oldham. AFAIK Oldham RL are returning to their home town to play at Boundary Park.

    The point here would probably be that in doing so with Mr. Hughes at the helm he would make a much greater success of Oldham than he has done London........    Seemed a fair point and remember we have opened literally loads of clubs outside the M62 that all failed.  Need a new thread to list them all!!!

    That's a lot of words to try and disprove what they actually said. And of course they have put their views in action in the past by putting forward a motion to the RL Council that Skolars, Hurricanes and West Wales should be thrown out. 

    BTW Hughes is from Swinton and the idea he wouldn't turn a่ heartlands club into a basket case as well is nuts

    Listened to the podcast. Maybe I missed something but Keighley's position appeared to be

    1 IMG's proposals are unfair because there is no meritocracy judging clubs on such things as location 

    2 The two London clubs, Midlands, Cornwall and Newcastle should be thrown out because they are not in the heartlands no matter how they are doing on the pitch
